So, are we then able to, say like a Chessmaster, impose a number of effects on a photon or whatnot, beginning with a “larger” cascade of energy and redirecting the particle repeatedly similar to a funnel thereby creating a situation where the “speed and location” can both be calculated and known quantum pairs created? Perhaps, if the funnel is inverted instead and a “light cone” is created and a parabolic dish of sorts can (either absorb, deflect, or) reflect the stray quanta within the ring so that a porthole can be made from the other side…not unlike a projector behind a “stargate” where the projector can make the ring active? Wormhole anyone?

Perhaps not…and I’m just connecting random snippets of popular science and science fiction for my own amusement. Like Camelot… ’tis a silly place.

Thanks for clearing that up. After my theoretical chemistry class I understood the uncertainty principle as something that exists in the nature of quantum objects, basically as what you just explained. But a few month back I read “A brief history of time” (well, the german translation of it) and it came across that the uncertainty principle is something that is tied to measuring location and momentum of quantum objects. In the book he explains that a more exact measurment of a quantum objects location requires light of a shorter wavelentgh thus light with more energy to influence the objects momentum. I understood this as the reason why the uncertainty exists. Seems like I got it right the first time 😀
Thanks again for clearing it up and thanks in general for the great homepage!
